RE: MC-303...Trash?
Don't waste your money on a MC-303 if you want that acid sound! It's a piece of shit when it comes down to acid! It won't scream for shit...actually, the MC-303 is a piece of shit by itself. It's a goddamn rack unit with a few databases of samples and demos to make it look good along with a little keyboard smacked onto it. The percussion isn't bad, but why buy the thing just for the drums? Also, it can't send MIDI, there's only a MIDI IN.
As for the MC-505, it's shit on a stick. Same as the MC-303, but just more sounds, and a cool beam controller in which you use your hand movements to control thr resonance and such, but like I said, don't expect squelching or any real acid sounds. Also, the two MC's don't offer real synthesis, so you can't really make your own sounds...
Like I've been saying everywhere, if you want that 303 sound, get RB-338 and an MCR-8 to control it. Or, if you want something to really wrap everything up, get the mother of all; the Korg Z1.
